Both are admirably qualified and would add a host of strength to the cause and the selection of either one of them would more than please the mighty hosts of democracy.

MAKE CHANGE G. R. i I. Railroad Dees Away With News Butcher. After May 19th then news and candy butcher will be a thing of the past on all G. R. Ar I. trains. ' the contract with the news company expiring on that date. Believing tnat it will be for the betterm -nt of the service, the company refused to renew the owntract so. a continuance of the news privilege on the trains. In doing this the G.

R. &I. is following the example of a number of other roads in the country. F>r some time there has been a growing relief that the trav. elng public does not care to be , bothered by the news agents on 1 trains and the roads have felt that they can not be indirectly a party to a business that depends on selll ipg goods at an exorbitant price to the patrons.

"J NOT THE WORST e I - But Young Men Still Crave for City r The drift from the country to the a cities continues. During the past 11 few years the farmers have been ■ quite prosperous; or ut least they - have been getting good prices for ’ most of their products and from money standpoint the farm ought to have attracted the attention of young man as a safe and sure way, in which to make a living. But the drift to the towns continued h uninterruped. As a result farm help is growing exceedingly scarce i and wages have advanced. The 1 desire to get into the city is inate f i with some young people and is inJ culcated into others by their par- . ents who behove that life in a city . is more pleasant and more desir - . ab]e than on a farm. It will require considerable time to reverse present conditions but the change will come. Living on a farm is far from the worst thing a man can do. FINE DISPLAY Water Color Portraits by World’s Greatest Artists.
